Are you saying the multiplug was loose behind the dash? Usually, the reason the lights don't work in the dash is due to dry joints in ther solder. I can't see how any of this would affect the running of the car. I've run my car fine without any of that stuff plugged in.

I does seem that the members have got considerably 'prettier' since the last one of these threads I saw.

My bad, had a brain fart while reading the post. I'll point you towards the more sensible posts below

Something about being a 'dirty c u next tuesday'

Sitting up in the canteen at work the other week having breakfast with colleagues. One of my mates was a bit peeved about being refused annual leave by my skipper. One of my other colleagues lets out a proper ripper, and I mean one of the first thing in the morning ones. You know the ones I mean, they go on for ever and are full volume. We all cracked up laughing, my slightly peeved mate thought he would retaliate so leaned over on one cheek and barged one out. He then got up and ran out of the canteen. We all thought he was just messing about, but he failed to come back to his seat. We phoned him and he informed us he had sharted, and needed to go home. We went don to the office where the skipper confronted him and said he didn't believe him and thought it was a ploy to get the day off, especially after being refused annual leave. "really"? he said, "fine, I'll prove it". With thatm he dropped his pants and revealed the catastrophe in his pants. It had somehow gone halfway up his back !! I swear, I laughed the whole day, and even when I was busy working, the thought would pop back in and set me off again. A story for the grand kids for sure

I'm a biker. I use my R6 everyday. I've had some bad experience with Hein Gericke though I'm sorry to say. Jacket lasted less than a year, all the wrist poppers fell off, the zip toggle comes off the top, so when you zip the jacket up, the zipper comes off and undoes itself. The waist strap plastic clips snapped. And my all weather gloves fell to pieces in 6 months. Might just be my horrific bad luck though

Don't feel bad about it mate. It's better to ask anything you're not sure of, rather that than make silly mistakes which end up costing you money to put right. We all started at some point with no knowledge of cars. I was a mechanic for 5 years so learnt my experience there. Some members on here have gained a wealth of knowledge just from being enthusiasts. I remember having a conversation with a member on here years ago at a meet about Ackerman angles and steering geometry. I was flabbergasted by the guys knowledge so I asked if he was in the trade. Turns out he wasn't, and that he's just 'into' his supras and cars in general.

Change spark plugs, leads, dizzy cap, rotor arm, air filter. All cheap and easy to do. Once you've done all this, reset your ecu and take the car out for a drive. It may be lumpy while the ECU relearns the values. Once you'ce thouroughly tested it for a good hour. Stop the car and leave it over night to cool. Start agin the next day and see if you have any more issues. If you do, check for error codes by using the paperclip method. These error codes will hagve been generated very recently and will not be old stored codes due to your ecu reset. Report back if you have any codes.

I'll keep this as painless as possible for you. The turbo uses oil from the engine.

Me and my old red supe

COG is one of the most well renowned GEO places in the s2000 scene. The s2000 constantly needs GEO setups done, and this place is the most talked about on the forums.

Oh, and I'll get pics up once these are fitted

Just so you know, 180mph clocks and 180kmh clocks are the same. When you import a car and get it derestricted, a lot of the time it converts the Km/h to Mp/h but keeps the same KmH speedo. It just measures in miles and not Km, sometimes importers put an M sticker over the K to show it now reads in miles, the actual face of the dial doesn't change though. So this would have been fine for you, although it says mph on the clock face. It would actually be km in your case.

What a load of tosh about blending cracking. This is my old supra with blended spats and skirts. The car is on its third club member owner and they still haven't cracked.

How about £40 including postage

If you're fitting shorter harder springs to the original shocks that are 16 years old, don't expect them to hold up too well. you could easily find that within a very short time, all your shocks will be knackered and will require replacing. IMHO, you will be better off paying out for a set of coilovers and do it properly. I found that standard shocks with lowering springs ruin the ride and actually make it more crashy and hard than a set of coilovers. I have the HSD's on mine, they're not even on the softest setting and ride beautifully. I bought the car with them already fitted and couldn't believe how brilliant the ride is. I highly recommend them.

It will spool up quickly though.

Or blend them

Are they copies?

If no one else wants it when it comes to that time, sure.

Bodykitted cars aren't always cheaper. It depends on the kit. A vileside kitted car will probably be cheaper like you say, but a tastefully OEM kitted supra with TRD spoiler will probably be worth more.

My bad

I just phoned them, that tab at the bottom of the page is generic and does not apply to the flouro lined hose which I linked to. the hose will be fine for PS fluid. Its worth noting. that the hose length and the section that I removed from my car is 70cm, which means the link to the merlin website hoses will not be long enough.

I believe people keep hold of the second cat come MOT time. However, there are a few on here that get through MOT's with no cats fitted. You should be fine, if your car is pre 08/1995 import, then your car doesn't need a cat test

Where did you get it mate?
